Pirate Alliance

Captain Grisha is definitely not a female classmate without a story, and even his story is more important, and the important thing must be described.

The hometown of Captain Grisha is a small island similar to Qiubai's hometown, Whale Island, but the natural environment is even harsher. At least the Whale Island is closed, but it is self-sufficient. However, Captain Grisha's hometown is extremely unsuitable. human survival.

In fact, there were no aboriginal people on the island in the first place.

But then the situation changed. The world government discovered important mineral deposits on the island, so the original inhabitants who were miners were relocated, and the mining industry continued to support the life of the island until later.

Captain Grisha has a wealth of sailing experience, which comes from countless shipments of minerals.

But the mines sometimes run out. People like Captain Grisha are already the second generation of miners, and they are native islanders. That is to say, by this period, the important minerals on the island have been exhausted.

In any society, the attitude of the people at the bottom is actually the same. The management of the miners by the world government is very much like slavery, but this kind of slavery is indispensable to the enslaved.

After the decline of the mining industry, not only did nothing good, but the miners found themselves unable to survive. This is the legendary realm of the legendary "you want to be a slave but not" - after the mines were depleted, the world government left a few things for the miners The ship broke, and then pulled away.

After losing the supply from the world government, the island was not able to be self-sufficient at all. The poverty and desperation prompted the miners to find a new way of living... But this group of people, in fact, besides mining, lacked other survivability and means of livelihood.

Then, based on disagreements about the future, the miners split. Captain Grisha is considered a very prestigious one, and he is also one of the factions, but because his plan is too extreme, it is obvious that his acceptance is limited. In the end, only more than 30 people on this ship are willing to follow him.

It is precisely because his big adventure is to take death that he wants to drive the innocent Qiu Bai off the boat now.

Under the domination of the world government, there are not many people who have suffered like this from Grisha, but it can be ignored that there are people like him with crazy decisiveness in his calmness.

"I don't know if you have heard of a fruit called "vegetarian berry"? "Captain Grisha patted his son's head, motioned him to play by himself, and said to Qiubai and Qiubai at the same time.

Qiubai and Ain shook their heads at the same time, they hadn't heard of what it was.

"It's a special fruit that only grows in some special environments in the New World, and it's also a rare crop that can grow in our hometown 'Little Rock Island'. Little Rock Island is also the most orthodox producing place for this kind of berry, but unfortunately..."

"pity?"

"No, nothing."

It's a pity that Captain Grisha's output in their hometown and the price of their own are not enough to support life on the island.

"Simply put, the taste of this fruit is very 'beautiful'. It is bland and tasteless at first, but it can continue to stimulate the taste. In addition, the price is very common, so it is a best-seller in the New World."

"But this kind of fruit, which is still common in the New World, is unheard of for people from all over the world, because of the well-known geographical factors that cause poor traffic, it is almost impossible to transport vegetarian berries out of the New World... So In terms of rarity, once it is shipped to the world, the selling price will be more than a hundredfold."

"but……"

When it came to this, Qiubai knew that there should be such a "but", because it is impossible to get the price of more than 100 times, and on the other hand, if it is simple, why sell it for 100 times?

"However, there is no way to get this money,

Because vegetarian berries also have a significant feature... No matter what kind of preservation method is used, its shelf life cannot exceed ten days, and it will inevitably spoil after ten days. "

"Ten days?" Qiu Bai asked back.

"It's ten days."

In ten days, even with the highest navigation technology of the current navy, it is impossible to leave the new world and go to the four seas.

By analogy, the Great Route is equivalent to the "equator" that circles the planet, and it divides the world into four parts together with the red earth continent that is perpendicular to it and is like a circle of longitude. This is the four seas.

As for the reason for not being able to enter and exit the great route at will, that is because it is a circular "closed loop" that can only be entered and exited through a special position "upside-down mountain".

And what seals off the great route is the special sea area on both sides of it - the windless zone. Based on a similar geographical concept on a certain ball and a similar location, the great route is equivalent to the tropical depression zone, without wind. The belt is equivalent to the subtropical high pressure belt, which firmly seals the great route from both sides.

The no-wind zone is an "absolutely stable area" where there is no wind and no currents. In this stage of technology purely powered by sails, a sea-going ship can never survive the no-wind zone.

Even if there is power, this kind of thing is difficult to do, because the windless belt is not only the lack of wind... The entire windless belt is the lair of the huge sea beasts called "sea kings".

The number is endless, and they will smash everything that floats overhead into powder. In terms of danger, it is a field that even the "Admiral", who represents the official maximum combat power, will not set foot in it.

"Risk is always positively correlated with profit, which makes sense, so... Captain Grisha is saying, is this ship actually a fruit carrier?"

Qiu Bai's reaction was still very keen, and at this time he had completely understood what the other party's words meant.

Captain Grisha did not directly answer the question, "In essence, we have to take extreme sailing methods, and this is the reason why we can't let you on the boat... Understand?"

Of course Qiubai understood, and he understood and couldn't understand any more.

For a long time, he thought that it was crazy enough for two people to dare to run around in the new world, but he didn't expect that the calm-looking captain in front of him was actually more than him... No, it should be said that he was more crazy than Xiaoqiu. too much.

This can also explain why the "Giant" going to the North Sea is almost 90 degrees away from the route.

With Qiubai's poor geometric knowledge, he also understands certain things, such as... between two points, the line segment is the shortest.

As for the Great Circle Law or something, he neither understands nor does it probably apply to the current situation.

So the question is, how can we deliver this fruit to Beihai within the shelf life?

The answer is very simple, Captain Grisha is going to cross the windless belt...he is going to take a mortal route.

But his consolation didn't have any effect, and it even had the opposite effect. This was a fallacy caused by not understanding Qiu Bai's character... It's okay, he still needs to find some stimulation. Now that he knows the facts, he can only take the initiative to disembark. ?

The way he looked at the captain was completely different. This old man, a group he admired... From this, it can be seen that Ain said that Qiu Bai was a nerve, which was quite reasonable.

But for Qiubai, this is only part of "human observation".

weak, tough

stupid, stubborn

humble, cowardly, stubborn

Human beings always contain infinite possibilities. Captain Grisha's voyage is by no means great. It is probably just an indignant resistance, but it does make people tremble with excitement.

A group of ordinary people are planning to cross the windless belt. Is there anything bolder, more courteous, and more funny than this?

Is there a more decisive resistance than this?

I have to say that sometimes Qiubai's personality is similar to someone in the Big Three in Ikebukuro, and at this time he even wants to shout a famous saying like "human beings love it".

Although in essence they just like the tossing of human beings in the "desperate situation", it is not so much to love human beings as to love human beings' "dying struggle".

So Qiubai's reaction at this time can be imagined:

"If that's the case, please let us go."

"be sure!"
